The Colombian Constitution of 1991 and Its Detractors. The Failure of the Constitutional Consensus

The Colombian constitution of 1991 brought major reforms to Colombia’s political institutions and has been analyzed by political scientists and constitutional lawyers as the product of a wide constitutional consensus. But twenty years after, there is strong evidence of a legal, political and social process of counter-reformation against the principles and values of the Constitution. This process reveals that there is no such a thing like a constitutional consensus in Colombia.
